I'm looking for a solid (no dents) passenger door for my 73
convertible.
Any takers?

Thanks

Rick and Dennis,
What he is parting out is actually a 4 door hardtop so the door wouldn't work.

Where are you located?

The door from any two door LeSabre or Centurion will fit. I beleive the glass is different and the regulator maybe different also. I think the roof on a Convertible is narrower than the coupe and the windshield frame is different also.

If you've got the internal workings for your convertible any two door shell should work. I think there aren't any significant changes in the body lines from 71-73 so you can check for other years as well.

I have an extra reasonable looking passenger door from a '73. It looks good, but I haven't stripped the paint so I don't know what's below the surface.

Your location will let us know if it might be worth the shipping charges.

I'm in Athens GA. KY's not too far if the part is right!! I drove 2hours north of Minn. MN last summer to haul home a restoration project ( 49 GMC 1 ton pickup.

Hello Dennis:
I have a complete 73' Buick centurion convertible 2dr passenger door. Its' strait, no dents/scratches, no bondo, zero rust. Color is mustard. Stored 20 years inside a shed wrapped in a blanket. I am in MA but will be traveling to Greensboro NC in August.

Any interest?

Hi Peter,
I don't know if Dennis needs the glass along with the door, but my passenger glass has a noticeable chip in it. I have the Soft Ray tinted windows, is yours tinted?

I'm in MA also and would like to know if you'd be willing to sell the glass? I also have some spare parts that I could trade if you need something. I don't have a ton, but you never know who has that rare little widget.

I had a spare door, but it was for a hardtop and the glass shape is completely different.


Let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,
John

I don't need the glass if it will work for John. I have glass.

Thanks!

If it doesn't work (too far away or whatever else) mine is still there. My parts Centurion is a rust bucket but the doors are good and not from the same car (mine was factory blue, doors are maroonish) i don't want to push myself in if you guys already have worked something out.
